Proverbs 21:15 BBE

¹³  He whose ears are stopped at the cry of the poor, will himself get no answer to his cry for help.

¹⁴  By a secret offering wrath is turned away, and the heat of angry feelings by money in the folds of the robe.

¹⁵  It is a joy to the good man to do right, but it is destruction to the workers of evil.

¹⁶  The wanderer from the way of knowledge will have his resting-place among the shades.

¹⁷  The lover of pleasure will be a poor man: the lover of wine and oil will not get wealth.
